More info please. What OS are you on? Are you getting any errors? Does it just happen in Explorer windows. Does your compuer freeze? How long has this been happening?

i dont really want to do that ive done quite alot over the past few weeks and i cant really remember when it started just a few days ago. anyway during this message and my last internet explorer crashed twice and just about every folder i accessed went down, if its not fixed by the end of tonight a format must be in order. :''(

I have to disagree, although sometimes it doesn't work. I have fixed a lot of people with this feature. It is also fully reversable in case it doesn't have the desired effect. It sure is a lot easier than a format an reinstall of the OS. What's the harm in trying it?

Yeah, it doesn't work nearly as well on ME as it does with XP I've noticed. I do tech support for an ISP and the System Restore feature can make it really easy to undo the changes that the customer has usually inflicted upon themselves, but aren't even aware they did it. If System Restore doesn't work then I have to actually do some work.
